I think it really depends on the nature of your school, whether you were initiated, your "free time" etc.
I was a collegiate member with a small child as a single parent. At the time, I was the same age as the rest of my chapter sisters. It was hard at times, but with effort, we made it work.
If you would be so much older than the rest of the chapter, will you really be able to participate in a manner that would be meaningful to you and the chapter. Will you be able to bear the expense? Are any of the current collegiate members even your contemporaries?
My thinking is right now your life is traveling a different road, but that is only for you to honestly decide. I sense you want the belonging again and perhaps looking to recapture what you feel was taken from you. There are so many ways to belong and move ahead, not back.
I wish you the best on this journey.
